This past week Planet Forward was on scene as an exhibitor at the Live Green Toronto Festival.  The event was organized by the City of Toronto which showcased hundreds of green products and services ranging from reusable bottles to renewable energy.

The weather was on our side as thousands showed up in their quest toward a greener lifestyle.  The festival was in the heart of Toronto at Yonge and Dundas Square.  They actually shut down Yonge Street!  Yonge Street became “green” street as Mayor Miller welcomed visitors.  There was awesome live music, earth-friendly kids’ activities, and tons of organic foods to sample as you walked down Yonge Street to shop eco-friendly products or learn more about living green. The festival was free for anyone in attendance.

The Planet Forward booth was located right on Yonge Street and our eco-neighbors were Arthur’s Juice and Raindance Cosmetics.  Other exhibitors included the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Livclean carbon offset solutions, NOW magazine, The Zero Point, Toronto Water, Bullfrog Power, Zip Car and many more.

Our products were featured at the Eco Savvy Festival at the end of June and we blogged about the overwhelming response to our stainless steel bottles.  At the Live Green Toronto Festival, once again our stainless steel bottles were our most popular item, with our reusable basket a close 2nd, narrowly followed by our organic cotton bags.   We also displayed samples of our new stainless steel bottle colors (available late fall) which customers found very appealing (some wanted to buy our sample!).  We met many eco-conscious locals and plenty of tourists who said they enjoyed the festival and would definitely be back next year.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth to learn more about Planet Forward, we hope to see you again next year!

And congratulations to the City of Toronto for organizing such a successful event - we look forward to being part of living green at next year’s festival.
